Hey,
One afternoon, Frontier editor in chief Peter Gietl looked up from his phone and realized he had spent ten minutes watching an internet argument while his young daughter waited patiently beside him, trying to show him a stuffed bunny.
That moment set him on an unexpected journey: trading his smartphone for a flip phone and rediscovering something modern life has quietly taken from many of us.
Attention.
As Gietl writes, "The phone had not stolen my affection; it had stolen my attention. And attention, in the end, is how we express love."
Frontier was created for readers who believe some things are worth paying attention to. For those who understand that disconnecting from the endless scroll is often the first step toward reconnecting with craftsmanship, community, tradition, and the people waiting for us on the other side of the screen.
Inside Issue 06, you’ll find stories about craftsmanship and beauty, hidden corners of America, communities rooted in faith and tradition, and people choosing presence over distraction.
Frontier isn’t designed to be consumed and forgotten. It’s a collectible quarterly publication meant to be read slowly, displayed proudly, shared with friends, and revisited long after the news cycle moves on.
It’s a theme we see again and again at Blaze Unlimited member events: people putting their phones away, sharing meals, trading ideas, building friendships, and discovering that real connection still happens face-to-face. That’s the spirit behind Blaze Unlimited and one of the reasons members receive Frontier each quarter.
When you become a Blaze Unlimited member, you gain access to stories that transcend the zeitgeist and a community rooted in the faith, craftsmanship, traditions, and relationships that still make America worth celebrating.
These coffee table-worthy magazines are filled with stories worth keeping for years to come.
